??? Thats an easy lay down.

[Alibi]

It basically took 1/3 of my stack to raise that. Should I have pushed?

[vqc]

I dont think a push preflop would have been a bad idea.

With the flop push, did you have the pusher pegged as someone who was swinging around his stack? If so I might be inclined to call, but for all intents and purposes I think your probably beat here, and you should just lay it down.

Pushing preflop woudl have made it a whole bunch easier.

[drmcboy]

You have to give him credit for at least a nine here, and with the stack you have left there is no real bet for him to make except AI. Even if he's just got overs plus a draw you're not that big a favorite.

Fold.

At a loose table pre flop this is maybe a push, at a tight table I like the way you played it. You can get back the chips you lost on the raise with two steals.

He either has you beat here with something like TT, or he has a flush draw so you have to fold this. I like to raise only to 2.5 x BB late in a tourney when the blinds are high because this is enough to get people to fold and less of a hit to your stack if someone comes over the top or you miss the flop so that you can still fold.
